Cessna Skyhawk (N73516)
An experienced and highly capable pilot was at the controls of this Cessna as it was landing at Harris Ranch Airport (3O8). There was a rather sporadic crosswind blowing across Runway 32 as N73516 made its s/final approach. It had crossed over the numbers and was not very many feet over the runway when an extremely strong crosswind blast twisted it into an unstable left-wing-high angle and also pushed it out of alignment with the runway. It looked like the plane was about to be forced down into the ground off the east edge of the runway but the pilot put the throttle to the firewall and lifted away into the "go-around" seen here. It was a smoothly executed recovery from what had appeared to be an unavoidable off-runway impact.
The Cessna landed without incident on the second try.
Comments
That portion of I-5 is known for having extreme crosswinds and there are highway signs posted along I-5 warning of such winds.
